Come on, man. If this happened in a Hollywood movie, we’d roll our eyes at an amateurish attempt at irony.

Alberta’s grievances need to be taken seriously
Imagine for a moment what would happen if Canada’s federal government announced a production cap on Ontario’s auto sector – something like the proposed federal emissions cap on oil and gas, which industry proponents say will limit production in Alberta.
Close your eyes and picture how things would look if the feds passed a law that specifically targeted the growth of Ontario’s main industry and the high-paying jobs that are driven by that industry.
China Experience Was Once a Plus. In Canada’s Election, It’s a Liability.
Asked to name the biggest threat to Canada’s security during an election debate, Mark Carney, the country’s prime minister and Liberal Party leader running to win a full term, gave a surprising answer: “China.”
Analysts saw it as an attempt to distance himself from the country amid heightened scrutiny on his own past work there.
Mr. Carney, a former central banker and business executive, dealt with the Chinese establishment in his recent private-sector roles for companies with investments in China.
Nice of the NYTimes to whitewash Carney’s China links.
Nope no China class in this country.

No Canadian flag there.

Conclave to elect a new pope will start on May 7 as cardinals get to know one another
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Catholic cardinals on Monday set May 7 as the start date for the conclave to elect Pope Francis’ successor, delaying the secret voting for two days so they can get to know one another better and find consensus on a candidate before they are sequestered in the Sistine Chapel.
The cardinals set the date after arriving for the first day of informal meetings following Pope Francis’ funeral Saturday. In a chaotic scene, journalists shouted questions about the mood inside and whether there was unity. A reporter for a satirical Italian television program asked whether an Italian cardinal who has been convicted by the Vatican criminal court on finance-related charges would be allowed to vote.
Jamie Sarkonak: Carney’s immigration plan a recipe for more overcrowding
Many of Canada’s problems in the last 10 years can be traced back to over-immigration
It’s good that Liberal Leader Mark Carney at least understands his party’s role in overpopulating Canada faster than it can grow capacity, but it’s a problem that he doesn’t have a plan to wind it up.
That’s one big reason a Carney win on Monday would prove disastrous to Canada’s youth: the immigration excesses will continue, and with it, the affordability squeeze. This is only a recent problem: population growth reached an average of 320,000 people per year from 2001 to 2015 — but doubled to an average of 612,000 from 2016 to 2023. In turn, Canada’s longtime receptive attitude towards immigration has cooled; people have lost faith in a system that was once revered for welcoming only the world’s best and brightest.
Rosie O’Donnell Launches Long, Unhinged Anti-Trump Rant: ‘Bats**t crazy‘
In her continued attacks on President Donald Trump, former America comedienne, and current resident of Ireland, Rosie O’Donnell is now claiming that she was once given a contaminated bottle of Trump branded liquor.
Label Obsession Grips Canada as Shoppers Shun American Products
TORONTO – Armed with four different apps, Lucy Fromowitz roams the aisles of her local supermarket looking for clues.
She scans the barcodes on food packages and studies the origin stories that pop up on her phone. When something seems potentially misleading or incomplete, she moves to phase 2, poring over the fine print.
“Sometimes it will say, ‘Prepared in Canada,’” the retired college administrator said during a recent weekend shopping trip with her husband. “But if you read the package, it’s shipped through Florida or California,” and doesn’t specify what kind of preparation took place north of the border.
Unisex lavatories risk ‘discrimination against biological women’
The EHRC has warned shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés that after the Supreme Court ruling, failure to provide single-sex facilities may leave them open to legal challenge
Shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés which fail to provide single-sex lavatories may be committing “indirect discrimination” against women, the equality watchdog has warned.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said that transwomen — biological males — should no longer be allowed to use women’s facilities, including lavatories and changing rooms, after a Supreme Court ruling.
The ruling could lead businesses to convert single-sex lavatories into unisex facilities to ensure provision for transgender people.
Niagara Falls ‘at breaking point’ after surge in migrants
City’s hotels are filled with asylum seekers as fears grow that Trump’s immigration crackdown will send more fleeing across the border
The lobby of the Wyndham Garden Tower Hotel in Niagara Falls at 8am is busy with chatter in all manner of languages.
The chatter is not from tourists heading out to admire the mist-covered waterfalls, however, but from children who are living at the hotel after arriving from Africa with parents seeking asylum.
Minutes later they are gone, climbing into two yellow buses to take them to school.
White House lawn lined with posters displaying illegal immigrants’ mugshots and crimes they committed
The White House lawn has been lined with mugshot-style posters bearing the faces of 100 “arrested” illegal migrants — and lists of the despicable crimes some have committed.
Illegals who’ve been arrested by President Trump’s administration now have their faces and crimes presented outside the White House.
These foreign criminals are all people who Democrat politicians wanted to keep in the US.pic.twitter.com/JuxqFVQh4o

Canada’s Trump Referendum: If the Liberals win, it’ll be because voters fear Tariff Man more than bad government.
Donald Trump isn’t on the ballot in Canada’s election Monday. But a lot of Canadians are expected to cast their vote with him in mind. The single biggest issue in the race is the White House’s verbal jabs at Canadian sovereignty and threats to annul the free-trade agreement between the two countries. The voter solution to the matter is shaping up to be more visceral than rational, which is unfortunate for Canada.
Russia declares a ceasefire in Ukraine on May 8-10 for WWII Victory Day
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia’s President Vladimir Putin on Monday declared a three-day ceasefire in Ukraine on May 8-10 to mark the World War II Victory Day, as U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration decides whether a deal to end the more than three-year war is within reach.
The Kremlin said that the truce will start at 0000 on May 8 (2100 GMT May 7) and last through the end of May 10, adding that Putin ordered the full cessation of hostilities on “humanitarian grounds” to mark the May 9 holiday celebrating the defeat of Nazi Germany.
On election day, Trump says Canada should join the U.S.
U.S. President Donald Trump weighed in on Canada’s election Monday, though he stopped short of supporting a candidate. Instead, he endorsed Canada becoming the 51st state.
“Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America,” he wrote on Truth Social.

Sigh …
On “Assassination Culture”: It’s Not You, It’s the Left
A new report warns that rising left-wing support for political violence, fueled by online “assassination culture,” threatens the foundations of civil discourse and democracy.
Writing in City Journal, Zack Dulberg and Max Horder, senior fellows at the Network Contagion Research Institute, examined the results of a recent survey to determine why America has experienced a disturbing increase in political violence. The answer should surprise no objective observer: “Progressives increasingly support violence.”
